Daily Show Host Desi Lydic asked America a poignant five-word question after voters decided to elect the nation’s first convicted criminal president – instead of its first female president.

“What the hell, America?” Lydic said Wednesday evening: instead of John Stewart in the first episode of the late-night show since Donald Trump won the presidential election.

“I slept for two hours last night and I feel like crap, but here we are…

“If you’re just joining me in this waking nightmare, yesterday was Election Day. We all hoped this would make history, and damn it did.”

Republicans aiming to provide triple control The Senate has shifted to a GOP majority, with Democrats trailing in the House as several races remain to be called and only two states are Arizona and Nevada — remains undeclared in the presidential race, with Trump currently leading in both.

Trump’s re-election would be historic for several reasons.

He will first convicted criminal become president; he is about to become the oldest president in the White House; and only the second president in US history to serve two consecutive terms.

With the President-elect once again defying many leading opinion polls‘expectations, Daily ShowThe magazine’s senior correspondent argues that the glass ceiling in politics means even the most seasoned female politicians are currently unable to capture the White House.

Lydic urged Americans to take a “damn hard look” at themselves. dismembered Trump‘s victory over Kamala Harris – and declared that the electorate would vote for anyone except a woman.

“It’s official: America elected its first criminal president before it elected its first female president. What a day for proud criminals,” Lydic said scornfully.

“We had two qualified, experienced women nominated for president, and both times they lost to the worst man in the entire country.”

She continued: “It’s starting to look like we’ll get each other first before we get our first female president. First Amish president, Wahlberg’s first president. Hey, there’s no rule that says a dog can’t be president. If it’s a dog boy.

Lydic also criticized the media’s “blame game,” playing out a montage of controversial analysis of political experts after Trump’s re-election.

“Honestly, I don’t really care why she lost. I care why he won,” Lydic said sharply. “We spent so much time diagnosing Donald Trump and what his actions say about him: he is a dictator, he is a fascist, he is a malignant narcissist whose blood type is cooking oil.”

Instead, Lydick shifted the blame back to voters, delivering a scathing final speech in her opening skit.

“It’s pretty clear that America needs a diagnosis because, no matter what’s wrong with it, we damn well love it,” she added.

“At this moment, Donald Trump is holding a mirror up to the American people. And maybe it’s time to take a good damn look.”
